Hotel berhampiran St Valeriu's Church, Chisinau

I wanted to like the Radisson Blu, as traveling to Chisinau several times before, always assumed it would be a very upscale hotel. While the breakfast and service were exceptional (very friendly and helpful staff), I found the atmosphere lacking - though understand that the hotel is catering to demand. For me, I like the hotel to be a relaxing refuge when I travel -- so I found the club-like atmosphere a big turnoff here. If you are on an upper floor you are likely to hear the rooftop bar music and clicking of heels above you until they close at 2 am. There is also a ****** and 2 other bars and restaurants inside the hotel, and loud music in the lobby. While this may be a draw for some, it was not the experience I look for when traveling, especially for business.

It was my first time in Moldova. Any member of staff I came into contact with, either on the front desk, or in the bar/restaurant spoke very good English. The staff on the reception were particularly helpful. They were happy to help with a late check out as I'd a late flight and also with ordering a taxi to the airport. The room was spacious. Large bathroom. Comfortable bed. Coffee machine and a kettle in the room. Minibar is well stocked with snacks if you don't want to walk to the shops (although there are shops within walking distance of the hotel). Handy location for the train station. It's within walking distance if you get the overnight train from Bucharest. City centre a bit of a walk, but not too far. About 20 minutes walk to the Triumphal Arch. About 30 minutes walk to the Museum of Ethnography & Natural History. Overall, one of the nicer hotels I've stayed in. The reception staff in particular are brilliant. Nothing is any trouble for them and I'd gladly stay again.

Stayed a total of 8 (5+3) nights - this was my base for exploring Moldova. Located a short walk from the main railway station, many shops and restaurants, and a longer walk from the main city sights. Secluded and quiet location. Very spacious rooms. Amenities included refrigerator and electric kettle. Sufficient number of electric outlets. Comfortable bed and pillows. Well lit desk areas. Bathroom with everything in working order in the first room, slow draining shower in the second room. Plenty of hot water and good water pressure in the shower. As for the negatives, both rooms were on the top floor and had sloped ceilings and sky lights. Especially in the second room, the sloped ceiling came down very low especially near the table area, and I hit my head a couple of times. The sky lights make using an eye mask essential if you don't want to wake up very early. Both rooms had big metal saddles between the room and the bathroom, which can cause tripping, especially at night. Good wifi. Pleasant, helpful staff. Overall a very good value.

Thomas Albert is phenomenal; very well one of the best hotels I've stayed in during my European (Western and Eastern) and Balkan solo tour! The hotel is ideally located in the centre of town. You can walk to the main plaza where all of then sightseeing in a matter of 10 minutes. There are many restaurants, cafes, wine bars, currency exchange booths and shops around the hotel, as well as a medium sized supermarket called Linella about 400 metres from the hotel. Rooms are spacious and elegantly designed. I simply loved the clean decor and lighting in the room. The bed was large and luxurious and I had my best sleeps in months! The duvet and pillows were the exact desired firmness and the mattress was also the perfect firmness! The bedding felt clean, crisp and brand new! The bathroom was very spacious and functional. I was positively amazed at all of the extra toiletries provided including large dispensers of hand soap, body lotion, shampoo, conditioner and body gel all of excellent quality! The toilet was very modern, and the shower was a large walk-in shower equipped with your choice of adjustable shower head or overhead rain shower. The water temperature and pressure were consistent and just right! The towels were fluffy and the brightest white you could imagine! The hotel will offer free toiletries including toothpaste, toothbrush on request, which I also thought was very throughout. There was a small vanity kit, vanity mirror and a shower cap also in the shower. The room was tastefully decorated with black and white photos, and was furnished with a large desk, a folding luggage storage rack, two bed side tables with soft above bed lighting, a large two door luggage storage cabinet with shelving, hangers, an electronic safe, an ironing table, shoe shown/polish, and slippers to wear in the room. There was also a large flatscreen tv in the room with plenty of international (English) channels to choose from, including CNN, National Geographic, BBC News, movie and entertainment channels. Wifi was secure/password-protected and very strong in the room and throughout the 3 story boutique hotel! Air conditioning was exceptional, and kept the room at the desired temperature with excellent air flow. The room also came with a mini fridge well stocked with mini bar items, complimentary water replenished daily, a little bedside chocolate on check-in, two elegant wine glasses with bottled local wine for purchase (100 Moldovan lei), a wine opener, an electric kettle, two espresso cups with saucers, two large coffee mugs, a nespresso style automatic coffee machine with two coffee capsules and a mixture of sugar, sweeteners and creamers. It was the little touches like above that brightened my day and made my stay the most comfortable it could be! The hotel also offers a self-use laundry service which I thought was genius. They even provide Euro coins for you to kick-start the machine and attentive staff monitor the laundry cycle. A 90 minute cycle costs 2

Mia moglie ha soggiornato in solitaria presso questo hotel tra la fine di luglio e l'inizio di agosto scorso, per una ”sosta imprevista” dovuta ad una coincidenza persa fra due diversi operatori di viaggio. L'hotel in questione ha dei prezzi concorrenziali, soprattutto considerata la sua posizioni in centro città, ma le camere non sono tutte tenute bene. Decisamente meglio le suite più costose, che consiglio agli ospiti occasionali, anche per via dei bagni decisamente più puliti e con disposizione interna ed arredamento più moderni. Le TV nelle camere funzionano male, ma probabilmente solo perché sono per forza di cose sintonizzate sulle emittenti russe. Tenuto conto di questo, il wi-fi comunque funziona a meraviglia, e si può facilmente ovviare alla mancanza della TV con una scorpacciata di contenuti multimediali internet. Infine, il personale è molto cordiale e attento alle necessità degli utenti. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My wife stayed alone at this hotel between the end of July and the beginning of last August, for an ”unplanned stopover” due to a missed connection between two different travel operators. The hotel in question has competitive prices, especially considering its location in the city centre, but the rooms are not all well kept. The more expensive suites are definitely better, which I recommend for occasional guests, also because of the decidedly cleaner bathrooms and more modern internal layout and furnishings. The TVs in the rooms do not work well, but probably only because they're necessarily tuned to Russian TV-stations. Taking this into account, the wi-fi still works wonderfully, and you can easily remedy the lack of TV with a feast of internet multimedia content. Finally, the staff is very friendly and attentive to users' needs.

It was my first time in Chisinau and I stayed in Courtyard by Marriott for 2 nights. From check in to check out, it was a memorable stay. Entire staff were amazing with good qualities of hospitality understanding. I would like to extend my appriciations to Ekta and Maxim from reception and Rynul from restaurant. Keep up the good work.

Были очень приятно удивлены отелем. Останавливались на одну ночь, потому что вылет был на следующий день. До аэропорта езды минут 10-15. Заселились в 16-й номер, это полулюкс, по-моему. Номер огромный - кровать кинг-сайз, диван, кресло, журнальный стол. Есть письменный стол, на нём капсульная кофеварка и две капсулы кофе. Чайник и чайный набор также есть. Минибар заполнен, но он за отдельную плату, прайс в номере есть. Большой шкаф, качественные тапочки и белоснежный халаты тоже есть в номере. В ванной есть все принадлежности - кусковое мыло, гель для душа, шампунь, кондиционер, зубные щётки и пасты. Ванная большая и чистая. Завтраки по системе шведский стол, есть всё, что могло бы захотеться на завтрак - яйца, сыр, колбаса, блинчики с начинкой, оладьи, овощной пирог, йогурт, кефир, овощи, фрукты, орехи, сухофрукты, даже бутерброды с красной рыбкой, выпечка, чайкофе. Точно всё не перечислила, выбор большой. Всё приготовлено вкусно, засервировано красиво. Wi Fi бесплатный, работал отлично. Ну и расположение очень удачное. Через дорогу, в 30 м большой торговый центр с разными брендовыми магазинами, на 4-м этаже большой фудкорт - есть Macdonalds и куча разных ресторанов и кафе. На первом этаже в ТЦ огромный супермаркет, в котором продаётся даже кулинария и горячая выпечка. Недалеко остановка, откуда можно уехать куда угодно на общественном транспорте.
